NOLA New Year

With the kids' winter break over two weeks long, we decided to take a little trip south again.  This year we ventured to New Orleans where, while overcast, we enjoyed weather much milder than at home.  We planned each day carefully and had mostly fun times, despite a few tantrums.

12/30: fly to NOLA, Story Land at City Park, po boys
12/31: Cafe du Monde, LA Children's Museum, Bourbon Street
01/01: Gulfport, MS - meet grandma and grandpa, Ocean Adventures park, playground, beach
01/02: French Quarter Kids tour, ride the streetcars
01/03: Canal Street Ferry, cemeteries, Destrahan Plantation, fly home
